Who's that?
- That voice sounds like... Mr. Ardd? - His outfits changed!
I am Ardbeg! A Holy Knight in the service of King Arthur!
I have waited for this day this moment for so long!
This is the end of the demon race! I'll punish you all!
So Mr. Ardd is a Holy Knight of King Arthur?!
The- The demon race? The race that terrorized Britannia during the Holy War?
Hey Percival, were you aware of that?!
Actually, Dolchomonte just told me about it.
All of the demon clan present in this village, represent those who refused to
participate in that Holy War of yours.
So what if they didn't fight? What matters is whether or not they belong to
the demon race. That's all. They're in need of a lesson on how many victims there
were in the Holy War 16 years ago. They must learn!
Is that...?
Rosko, basura, merushito, metetoma!
Uh wait... What just happened?
The entire demon clan has totally vanished.
This magical item known as the "Amber of the Four Archangels" will seal those
bastards away. It can seal away more than a dozen times what the previous Amber of
- the goddess could. - Ow
Wait, what? Where did Dolchomonte go?
You don't need to worry.
That demon who was trying to crush you is forever confined within this...
Verdant hair that flairs out like the wings of a bird?
The thing he carries on his back! It's the dragon relief! The one stolen from
Ironside! Then... you must be...
- Wait are you the one who did it?! - Did what?
Dolchomonte is my newest friend!
And the others never did anything bad to us either!
You consider that demon your friend?
You believe the demon race are good guys?
How dare you become friendly with these monsters, you insolent brat!
Your crime of befriending those of the demon race will not go unpunished. In
order to bring about King Arthur's vision for the ideal world... and for the sake of
those who have died... your life shall have to meet its end here!
Please stop, Mr. Ardd!
You can't do this to him! He's a dear friend of ours!
Please children, be silent and get out of here while you can.
Anne and Nasiens, this doesn't concern you!
No, sir! I won't be quiet or run away!
You have your reasons for doing this, but we have our own reasons, as well! And
that's Percival! While we were suffering at the hands of your fellow knights, he
saved us. He's a hero!
All you gotta do is gimme the amber and let me bring everyone back right now!
Shut your mouth!
Come, Kellie!
Or should I say, Cernunnos!
Deal with this pesky knight from the prophecy!
It's huge!
That thing is Kellie?
Kellie is a mythical beast said to dwell in purgatory!
Percival, get outta there!
- Phew, that was a close call! - Look, Percival! The horns!
If you aim for his horns you'll stop his attacks!
All right let's go!
It's time then! Let's see what this new sword can do!
But how?
Those horns adorning his head are hard as garnet, and tougher than steel!
Well in that case...
Oh no! Percival!
I'm so scared!
Neigh!
Alrighty then! He shouldn't be able to find me while I'm holed up in here!
Master Sin, it's you! Goodness-gracious-Agnes what happened to
you?! Master Sin! Are you dead? Sin! Master Sin!? Are you Deeeaaadd??
Oh my, thank goodness! You're still with us!
Honestly... Weren't you supposed to let me catch some peaceful sleep?
Huh?
What the hell is this commotion?
He's enjoying tormenting Percival! That old man's a mean bastard!
Even with my magic, I won't be able to get him at that speed!
Hurry, Kellie! Quit fooling around and take him out already--
I won't allow it. Not Percival!
Anne...
You had me completely fooled.
My magic allows me to see through any lie I hear, so how...?
- A lie never once left my tongue. - You lied when you claimed to be a hunter!
That was no lie! I truly was a hunter in the past.
But now, instead of hunting mountain beasts, my only prey are those of the
- demon race. - You also lied outright when you told us
you'd help us rescue our friends, didn't you?!
I did not lie!
If they were your friends, I felt it was right to lend aid. -However, I never
imagined that one of them would turn out to be one of the Four Knights of the
Apocalypse! -But it wasn't purely out of goodwill.
Without these four children, you were incapable of entering the village.
After all, the barrier not only made the demon race appear as though they were
human, but it also had the effect of repelling those with murderous intent and
hostility.
That's exactly right! I needed to enter this village, so I took advantage of your
- pitiful feelings! - The amber! Hand it over!
- And what if I do comply? - I'm gonna release everyone
you trapped in there, of course!
And all those creatures... It doesn't matter that they're demons, they had no
intention of harming us at all!
A child like you wouldn't understand... In the Holy War against the demon race,
humans were forced to witness countless atrocities.
A mother crying her eyes out, cradling the hand of her son who was buried under
rubble. Young siblings searching for their parents as they walked through a blazing
fire.
And a vacant eyed father, tightly clutching a cradle charred black...
Listen, Anne!
The emergence of a knight from the prophecy will bring about tragedy that far
surpasses the horrors caused by the demon race... It will be the end of the world! To
that end, I must destroy him, even if he's just a child!
What are you doing, Percy?
Don't waste the potential of your new sword on this.
I had to! Those horns he's got are super-duper hard, ya know!
'Cause this dragon sword and my magical hand sword couldn't even make a dent in
- them! - Then why are you using them separately?
Uh-wha-.
Instead of only using one... I should use both of 'em?
Merge the two together.
This should work!
Whoa! I- did it!
When your weapon is enchanted with magic it not only inherits the magic's
properties. Its destructive ability will be more than doubled in power.
Especially when the weapon's enchanted with "destroyer" magic...
...it amplifies almost tenfold.
I did it!
Go, Percy! That was awesome!
Hey you guys' did you all see that?!
Don't let your guard down!
Huh?
Kellie! Stop playing with him and crush him!
Percival!
The monster-doggo stopped! - Now,' Nasiens! Your move! -Right!
Misty Rain, Belladonna.
Whoa!
- Are you doing okay? - Oh yeah! I'm all good now, Nasiens!
You had me so worried!
- I got a little carried away there. - None of this is funny!
Now, now...
Well, that's over, all that remains now is this Holy Knight Ardbeg guy.
Hey, he's making a run for it!
It's called a strategic retreat!
Hey guys, don't'cha think we should just let that bastard go and move on from all
- this? - No, we can't! Everyone's still trapped
in the amber, so we gotta stop him and get it back quickly!
- I forgot about that. - Idiot.
We've totally lost track of him.
Quite the pickle we're in.
It might be wise to assume he headed toward the Crystal Grotto.
Huhh?
- This helmet belongs to you, does it not? - It's a valuable item of mine!
Thanks so much, Mister Elder!
- Anne, lend me a hand! - I don't have choice, huh?
It's a cave that can be found near the village. -More than likely, he set-up a
base camp at that location. -There!
Thanks a lot, Anne!
Now, then! Let's go and rescue Dolchomonte!
So it's Percival, is it? -Now that you know the villagers are of the demon race,
do you still intend to lend them aid however you can? -Yeah.
Dolchomonte has become a good friend! And everyone else here has been super kind to
- me! - Nevertheless, the connection you've made
with them does not change the fact that
their race has been caught up in a gruesome conflict for generations with you
humans.
Oh. Is that so? Well I don't really see it that way.
You don't?
Sure, I mean, just because my dad, who killed my grandpa, is a human, it doesn't
make me hate every human that ever existed. And just because my dad is a bad
Holy Knight, it doesn't discourage me from wanting to become a Holy Knight
myself.
After all, look at Howzer! There are good Holy Knights like him out there, too! It's
the same thing!
If you're a good person, it doesn't matter what race you are!
I understand your perspective very well, Percival.
Well then, I trust you'll rescue everyone.
Leave it to me!
I'm experiencing abdominal pain!
Okay, fine. You stay here.
All right, everyone, let's hurry to the Crystal Grotto!
I'm the leader, so follow me!
Since when is she in charge?
- I've no choice. Gotta babysit them. - That boy is certainly peculiar, isn't he?
He's just a country bumpkin.
But I see now. He's the knight from the prophecy. One of the Four Knights of the
Apocalypse.
The very one destined to bring hope to this world.
This has to be the place!
Crystal bedrock... It certainly looks that way.
I'm sensing some eerie magic here.
That old bastard must've rigged traps. Don't go rushing in-- reck-lessly...
- Let's go! - Yeah!
- Come on, hurry, hurry! - Whoa, not so fast, Percival!
Hey! I'm the leader, remember?!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
- These crystals are so beautiful. - Bet they're worth a fortune!
You have no sense of romance.
All right, everyone, watch your step in here!
- And your head, too. - We're pretty deep inside the cave
now. How much farther does this go?
The path is becoming quite narrow, as well.
The Elder won't fit through here.
Get out here! Ya can't hide forever, ya milksop!
The Great Donny's got two fists with your name on 'em!
Wow, Donny, you sure do become a bold lad when you have the upper hand, don't you?
Since that's the case, why don't you go ahead and take the lead on this one!
- Whoa, hey! Cut it out! - But still, Donny might be onto something.
What do you mean?
Just think, out of all the Holy Knights we've fought so far, I get the feeling
- that he's the weakest. - Yeah, that's true.
Compared to Ironside, his combat skills seemed almost amateurish.
And that's not all, either. The whole time that he was fighting with Percival or
Anne, I never once saw him use a drop of magic. It's rather puzzling.
Well, you figured me out.
Fighting has never been my forte.
Mr. Ardd, where are you?
The reverberation from the crystals is masking his true location.
What's more, my magic takes time before its effects begin to show. Unless I lead
you into a maze and stall you like this, I will surely be the loser.
The effect takes time?
Hold us up all you want, there's no way we'll lose to you!
Yeah, what Percy said! We'll have you cornered like the rat you are!
You little brats are clearly a spirited bunch. But you should be careful. The one
doing the cornering may end up being the one who's cornered.
Just come on and show yourself- Hey! I can't see anything!
- What on earth are you doing? - It's like my helmet
- suddenly got bigger and... - Huh?
It's quite apparent that we've run out of light ahead of us.
- No, not you, too! - Aghhh!
What's the problem now?
P- P-P- Percival's a baby!
Hey Percival, what the heck happened to you?!
Ask yourself that, Donny!
Wait is that you, Nasiens?
N-No way. This can't really be happening... Are we actually turning into babies right
- now?! - Whooa, I'm feelin' all wobbly...
You going to be okay?
- Seems you realized a bit too late. - Mr. Ardd!
I have the ability to rewind the passage of life, turning whoever's within range
into infants. This is my magic, "Reverse."
You can no longer fight in your current state.
Looks like I win, children.
Hey Percival, Donny!
We should all retreat for now!
- Come on! - Come on!
Seriously, you two! Why are you both acting like a couple of babies?!
The pace may be a bit different, but eventually each of your minds will regress
- to infancy just as your bodies have. - This... can't be happening...
All that remains is fulfilling my mission.
Huh. You're quite impressive, young Knight of the Apocalypse. Even as an infant, you
won't cry. You sure have some nerve.
Before I get rid of you for good, I must retrieve the dragon relief.
H-Hey, let go! He may be just an infant, but he's ridiculously strong!
I'm not trying to play with you! Hey! Where do you think you're going?
Why you little brat! How dare you mock me! I swear I'll-
Anne!
Don't you move from this spot!
Understand, Anne!
Whatever the cost may be, the Four Knights of the Apocalypse must be dealt
with. I don't ever want to go through that pain again. Or be the one to put
anyone else through it!
So please, Anne, do not cry. Okay?
Oh, what's wrong, what's wrong, my princess? Don't worry, your daddy's right
here! Now, now, don't you cry!
You happy now?
Ouch! Hey, hey, be careful with daddy. You sure like your daddy's nose,
don't'cha, Connie?
Ardbeg! This village is doomed to hell!
Before that horde of demons comes back for another attack, take your daughter and
run for your...
Anne... Could it be that you're trying to comfort me?
Oh, what a sweet girl you are...
But still, I can't forget the mission that I promised to fulfill.
You brat... Even in your current state, are you still trying to do whatever you can to
protect Anne?
Well, you can relax. The only baby I'm killing here is you. I won't hurt Anne or
the others.
I cannot allow you to kill that child.
THE GOAT SIN
